One day while returning to Hyderabad, Krishna receives messages from a stranger who tells him that he knows Krishna’s Email ID and he even kidnaps his wife, Vanitha. The stranger threatens Krishna to do as he says without any delay if he wants his wife’s safety. Helpless Krishna does as he has been told by the mystery man. Who is the stranger? Why did he choose Krishna to execute his mission? What happens to Vanitha? The story concludes while answering these questions.

Star Performances

Rashmi’s performance in this movie is extremely disappointing. Her portrayal of Vanitha is so bad that it fails to leave any impact on the audience. Rashmi was used as bait to attract an audience, as she got nothing more than what we have already seen in the trailer of the movie, except for the climax. Charan Deep is all right in a few scenes but overall his portrayal felt too loud and overacted. Vasudev played the antagonist of this film and the only person who did a decent job in this film. The rest of the cast was just there to support the story of the movie without much involvement.

Analysis

The movie ‘ Antham Click to look into! >> Read More... ’ is directed by GSSP Kalyan. It is a crime thriller based on a sudden turn of events in the life of a happily married couple. But there is nothing to classify it as a thriller except for its basic plot line. The film starts well but its quality deteriorates as the story progresses. The director’s attempt to showcase the concept of race against time utterly failed. The addition of comedy to such an intense story didn’t make sense at all. The sensual scenes in the movie felt like propaganda to attract a certain kind of audience. There is nothing to talk about the acting performance of the movie. For instance, Rasmi wasn’t given sufficient on-screen time to showcase any character development in this film. Charan Deep, playing a first-time lead, was overwhelmed and overacted. Vasudev’s performance was nothing different from any other antagonist in movies based on a similar theme. The dialogues in the movie were poorly written. Except for a few scenes, the rest of the movie makes no sense. The cinematography is the worst part of this film. The poorly used cuts and zooming effect in the movie stole the credibility of the movie’s story. The camera movements in the movie invoke headaches. This movie is a perfect example of what one should not do while making a film. Its poor screenplay, dialogues, and plot make it a disaster to watch. The word ‘Anthem’ means ‘end’ and the movie’s end is what the audience is waiting for throughout the film.

What’s There?

• The movie utterly fails to impress and there is hardly anything that audience take from it.

What’s Not There?

• the poor screenplay fails to impress the viewers.

• Cringy dialogues in the film test the patience of the audience.

• Underserving climax along with poor storyline causes the audience’s attention.

• Poor cinematography and editing makes it a failure in all sense.

Verdict

‘Anthem’ is a disastrous attempt by the director to put forth a suspense thriller. Nothing is convincing enough to watch this film. The screenplay is defective; the dialogues are intolerable; passable acting performances; and unconvincing direction. It is a total waste of resources. One must skip this film and re-watch any of the already-seen movies.
